Also on MoneyTalk, why financial strain is climbing up the income ladder, and Stock Trivia: Battle of the Sowas.

Can We Fix Social Security?

Late Fed Chairman, Alan Greenspan, served under four presidents, through multiple market meltdowns, and negotiated the American economy into its longest period of peacetime expansion, but Greenspan’s legacy is also inextricably linked to the policies that led to the Great Financial Crisis. Donna does a retrospective commemorating the great contributions and unfortunate miss-steps of the man known as “The Maestro”, Alan Greenspan.

The Legacy of Alan Greenspan

Many people use a home equity line of credit for home renovations and unforeseen liquidity needs, but if you are carrying an old balance on your variable rate HELOC, the current high interest rate environment has not been friendly to you. Donna and Nathan discuss options for managing variable rate home equity loan balances, and strategies for paying down other forms of high interest debt. Also on MoneyTalk, retirement milestones, and Stock Trivia: Two Truths and a Lie.

Dealing with Debt 

For over a century, gold wasn’t just a symbol of wealth—it was the backbone of the U.S. dollar. From the discovery of gold in California to the creation of the Federal Reserve and the dramatic shift under President Nixon, the gold standard shaped not only how America did business, but how it saw itself on the global stage. On this edition of our MoneyTalk Moment in Financial History, Nathan and Daniel uncover the myths, the politics, and the economics behind one of the most influential—and controversial—chapters in monetary history: The U.S. Gold Standard.
